Blood chokes from mount

Hey guys so i've been thinking about submissions from the top, and what better then blood chokes right? So i have a theory that i could switch back and forth between trying to get a arm triangle and a no gi Ezekiel choke depending on where their arm is placed. Now i got to play with it today in class for the first time without any success. I had the dominant position and he wasn't going anywhere, but i wasn't able to get the tap. Any tips on maneuvering this guy into openings for my finish?

Ryan Hall's "Arm Triangles" DVD series is absolutely brilliant for this. You're right about the opportunity to switch between the arm-triangle and the Ezekiel choke, and Hall discusses that concept in great detail, as well.
